Vertigo is an example of how our
emotions manifest themselves physically.
mental anxiety reduction
The mind attempts to reduce anxiety through a series of
hypothetical 'what if ... then I' constructs which is a defensive survival
mechanism. The survival mechanisms of
projection and
rationalization function by
distorting or denying
reality, this does not mean that the individual entirely loses touch with
reality - reality has simply been
redefined as safe.
Memory of
cognitive mistakes in judgement
are repressed.
Individuals that repress
cognitive mistakes in judgement will erect elaborate defense mechanisms to keep
repressed mistakes from conscious thought.
Repressed recognition of cognitive
mistakes manifests as emotion.
"Wide availability and peer pressure makes it
almost
inevitable that everyone will use drugs at some
time."
Peter Moulding
"It is possible to stop most drug
addiction in the US within a very short time.
Simply make all drugs
available and sell them at cost.
Label each drug with a
precise description of ALL effects and risks.
This will require
heroic honesty.
Don't say that marijuana is addictive or dangerous
when it is neither.
"Speed"
kills most unpleasantly, or Heroin, which can be
addictive and difficult to
kick." - Gore Vidal, 1970
Between
1780 and 1830, a near-tripling of annual per capita alcohol consumption and a
related rise in alcohol problems in America led to what has been christened the
"discovery of
addiction."
1784 Benjamin Rush
describes one of the earliest pharmacological treatments for chronic
drunkenness - the use of an emetic to create a conditioned aversion to alcohol.
1838 Samuel Woodward
pushed for the medicalization
of addiction by calling for
the creation of specialized
institutions for the care of the inebriate.
Agents used to aid
detoxification included alcohol,
chloral hydrate, strychnine,
mercury,
arsenic, belladonna,
hyoscyamus, coca,
cannabis indica,
opium,
atropine, sulphur and
quinine.
1870 Joseph Parrish founds
the American Association for the Cure of Inebriates.
Founding
principles declare:
- Intemperance is a disease.
- It is curable
in the same sense that other diseases are.
- Its primary cause is a
constitutional susceptibility to the alcoholic impression.
- This
constitutional tendency may be either inherited or acquired.
1879 Keeley Institute, known for its Keeley Cure
or Gold Cure, is a commercial medical operation offering treatment to
alcoholics.
The success of the Keeley products
spawn patent medicine cures for
addiction.
Keeley treated with combinations of strychnine, atropine,
cocaine, codeine, and apomorphine promising to destroy craving for alcohol and
opiates.
Sold as bottled home cures they secretly contained alcohol,
opium, morphine and cocaine which eventually led to prescription and product
labeling laws.
There were three approaches to
narcotic withdrawal in
the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries:
-
rapid and complete withdrawal,
- stepped
withdrawal utilizing a step-down of drug dosage,
-
prolonged
withdrawal over an extended period of time.
Pharmacological adjuncts used to facilitate these processes
included codeine,
cannabis indica,
strychnine,
belladonna, atropine,
cocaine,
quinine,
whiskey, and
coffee;
purgatives to speed the
elimination of toxins; sedatives to provide
comfort and sleep (chloral
hydrate, bromides, sulphonal,
trional, and veronal); aversive agents (tartar emetic); drugs whose
resulting disorientation reduced flight from treatment (hyoscine or
atropine); and plant
specifics thought to destroy narcotic craving (Avena sativa or Viola sagittata)
(Kolb & Himmelsbach, 1938).
Formal narcotic addiction
withdrawal protocols of the early twentieth century included the Lambert-Towns
treatment (a combination of belladonna, xanthoxlyun,
hyoscyamus, strychnine, and digitalis), the Petty method (atropine,
scopolamine, sparteine
sulphate, and sodium thiosulfate), the Sceleth method (scopolamine, pilocarpine,
ethyl-morphin, strychnine, and various cathartics), the Nellens and Massee
method (mercurous chloride, magnesium sulphate, and chloral hydrate) and
Narcosan treatment (a mixture of
lipids,
proteins, and
vitamins).
1899 Nine
out ten physicians are prescribing
proprietary
medicine.
Opium 'cures' Pronto, Opacura, DeNarco,
and Pierce's Golden Discovery are laced with opium.
Heavily
touted drinking 'cures'
contained alcohol, amounts as high as 44% alcohol (in Hostetter's Bitters) are
not uncommon.
"John D. Rockefeller Junior is
the man directly responsible for creating and instigating the destructive war
on non-licensed
drugs.
The war on drugs was carefully planned and orchestrated to
protect the family ownership of
a chemically-based
pharmaceutical monopoly.
Rockefeller obsession was to control all
PHRMA reliant on petroleum.
Rockefeller started working on serious plans
to take over the educational system,
the medical system, all
the medical schools and research schools.
Done in
the name of philanthropy, the
Rockefellers insisted physicians be trained to only prescribe
the use of chemical PHRMA
to their patients.
The
Rockefeller business
strategy for China was to force the Chinese people off
traditional herbal medicines and on
to chem PHRMA."- Jean
Carter
"The drug war has
failed because it defines any use of an
illegal drug as abuse in need of treatment,
forced if
necessary.
The American drug war has been building for over a 100
years.
It began with the flawed logic of
social engineers such as
Richmond Pearson Hobson and
Harry Jacob Anslinger to
punish the sale of patent medicine.
As the situation deteriorated,
Nelson Rockefeller,
Richard Nixon and then
Ronald Reagan escalated
the war.
Academics predicted failure but were ignored." - John
Chase
"As a politician, you can
use "crack cocaine" as a code
word and say you're going after the drug, but you're actually going after
people we don't really like in our society." -
Carl Hart |
"Prohibition is a drain on
the public purse.
Governments spend billions per year to enforce drug
prohibition.
These same governments forego billions per year in tax
revenue they could collect from legalized drugs, assuming these were taxed at
rates similar to those on alcohol and
tobacco.
Under prohibition, these revenues accrue to
traffickers as increased profits." - Jeffrey Miron,
Harvard
economist
October 27, 1970 Congress passes
the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act categorizing
chemical compounds based on their medicinal use and potential for
addiction.
1971
Two congressmen release a
report that ten to fifteen percent of US servicemen in Vietnam became addicted
to Heroin.
President Nixon declares drug abuse to be "public
enemy number one".
"I started in the
war on drugs at the
very beginning.
I worked the first 14 years undercover.
I
have followed the war on
drugs ever since.
When I
retired I felt bad about my role in implementing an unjust war.
The war on drugs was declared
by Richard Nixon.
As the federal funding started pouring in, we went
from a seven-man unit to a 76-person bureau of narcotics.
When you
increase any organization by 11 times overnight, you set up a great deal of
expectations.
Officers are judged mainly
on the number of arrests they make.
The expectation was that in the
coming year we'd arrest at least
11 times as many people for non-violent drug offense as we did the year
before.
We were supposed to arrest drug users: Not easy in 1970 for
several reasons.
First, we didn't really have much of a drug problem in
1970.
Looking back to those times, we know the main problem was soft
drugs: marijuana,
hashish,
psilocybin
mushrooms, LSD -
mind-altering
drugs.
We targeted
young folks, folks in high school or college or in between, little
friendship groups, because
there were no drug dealers.
Our bosses didn't know how to fight a
war on drugs.
They knew one thing: They knew
how to work that federal cash cow.
So they had to make the war
on drugs look like it was an absolute necessity.
We started
arresting everybody we could put our fingers on.
I infiltrated a group
of maybe 15 young people.
Friday night, school's out, work's out,
somebody'd say "Wanna get high?"
A few would take them up on that, and
of course I was always there.
One of the
friends who happened to have access to the family car
would go and get drugs; you had to go to New York City to get them.
One
person says get me a couple joints, one says get me some acid, and when they
came to me I'd put my order in too, for this tiny bit of substance.
An
hour later they'd come back and hand this stuff out to their friends.
And when they handed it to me they became a big-time drug dealer.
And I would stay in that group until I got everybody in the group.
These were just young people accommodating each other.
In 2002 I sat down with four other police officers
and we thought.
We
decided first - what should law enforcement be
trying to do?
We were interested in reducing the incidence of
death and
disease.
We want to end drug
prohibition, like we ended alcohol prohibition in
1933.
As law
enforcement we knew that the very day after we ended that terrible law,
Al Capone and
all his smuggling buddies were out of
business.
They were
no longer out on the
streets, killing each other for control.
They
were no longer killing us cops trying to fight that useless
war.
They were no longer
killing children caught in a
drive-by crossfire.
We knew that if we came up with a system of
legalized regulation of drugs today we could take all the violence out of this
equation. All of it.
If we
treated drug abuse we
could actually start helping
these people.
We've spent more than a trillion dollars on the war on
drugs since 1970.
And what do we have to show for that money?
It's billions more every year
that we'll throw down the same rabbithole.
In 37 years we've made
over 38 million arrests for non-violent drug offenses.
We've quadrupled
the number of people in our prisons since then.
We've made
building prisons the
fastest-growing industry in the US.
Despite all this money spent,
and all these lives destroyed, today drugs are cheaper, they're more potent and
they're easier for our children to access than they were in 1970 when I started
buying them as an undercover
agent.
In 1969
arrests for non-violent drug offenses was in the
tens of thousands.
In 1970 that number went up to
hundreds of thousands.
If we were doing
anything to interdict drugs: price up, supply down.
As a young trooper kicking down doors and executing search
warrants a good seizure might be an ounce of cocaine or a quarter-ounce
of Heroin.
Look at what we're seizing today.
In 2002, in a single seizure
we seized ten tons of Heroin and in another single seizure 20 tons of
Cocaine.
That's a
failed policy, with unintended consequences any way you look at it." - Jack
Cole, New Jersey State Police, Law Enforcement Against
Prohibition
"It's been
corporate policy for
at least 18 years that every new hire excrete while a rubber-gloved nurse
waits outside with her ear plastered to the door.
Those who test
positive for illegal drugs don't get their promised job, on grounds that
someone who can't stay off the stuff long enough to pass a one-time,
advance-notice screening might have a problem.
This despite the fact
that we generally don't operate machinery heavier than a
coffeepot, aren't likely to
sell our secrets to blackmailing
Russkies and are supposed to be at least
theoretically representative of
typical Americans.
Because guess what? The
typical American - and just about
every journalist I've
ever asked - has already tried marijuana at least once before the age of
25, according to the government's National Survey on Drug Use and
Health.
Despite billions of dollars worth of
taxpayer financed
propaganda, most of those who've inhaled didn't collapse through the
"gateway" into desperate
Heroin addiction and
"Traffic"style sex
slavery." - Matt Welch
March 1999
Institute of Medicine (IOM) finds cannabis has no significant addictive
potential.
The report notes: "few cannabis users develop dependence
"and if there are withdrawal symptoms, they are "mild and short lived."
The IOM report states gateway theory is a social hypothesis.
The pharmacological qualities of cannabis does not lead to chemical
use.
The legal status
of cannabis makes it a gateway drug.
"The "gateway" to hard drugs is
cannabis prohibition!" - Jack Herer
"Growing up I heard innumerable times marijuana was a 'gateway'
drug that was very likely to cause the user to graduate to hard drugs.
In elementary school I had peers who said, "Take
2 aspirin and wash them down
with Coca-Cola®.
It will give you a nice high (ulcer)."
Over-the-counter painkillers are
probably the most widely abused chemicals.
Out of elementary and
into junior high - it is a whole new story.
If the over-the-counter
painkillers work what about the other stuff?
Braver and more
experienced - these kids already knew alot about drugs.
And they had
them after raiding Mom' medicine cabinet !
Out of junior high and into
High School - it is a fantastic
new adventure.
The most easily accessible after
pills -
tobacco and
alcohol.
Cigarettes are number one with
cheap wine and
beer a close second.
And of course there are many dipping into Mom's medicine cabinet and
Dad's liquor cabinet." - Athbhreith Athbheochan
2003
"Particularly alarming is the 212% increase from 1992 to 2003 in the
number of 12 to 17 year olds abusing and trying these drugs for the first
time." - Joseph A. Califano Jr, Columbia University National Center on
Addiction and Substance Abuse
US Drug Enforcement
Administration says 7 million Americans currently abuse PHRMA, noting that
is "more than the number who are abusing
cocaine,
Heroin, hallucinogens, ecstasy and inhalants combined."
DEA
reports "opioid painkillers cause more fatal overdoses than cocaine and
Heroin
combined."
2005 1 in 10 teenagers continue to
abuse PHRMA according to the federally funded annual survey by the University
of Michigan.
2008 22 year-old Savannah Kissick
overdoses on a combination of painkillers and
sedatives while
celebrating New Year's Eve.
At least 485 people died in Kentucky
including Savannah Kissick from PHRMA overdoses of methadone, oxycodone and
hydrocodone, alprazolam
(Xanax), opium, diazepam (Valium®) and
fentanyl.
"We are drowning in a
sea of prescription medication tied to every type of crime, the burglaries,
the thefts, the accidents, the domestic disputes between families. It's
breaking families up." - Greenup County Sheriff Keith Cooper
US Drug
Enforcement Agency states that stolen or illegal purchased prescription
medications are a favorite of high school and college students. "The
first time I got "high" was on prescribed codeine (methylmorphine - codeine
sulfate and codeine phosphate) for a head
injury in elementary.
The first illegal drug I ever purchased was a
"rack of whites", amphetamines, in middle school." - Athbhreith
Athbheochan
'Robotrippin' by middle school students is increasing at 50%
per year.
The key ingredient is DXM, Dex or
dexmethorphan.
Lucia
Martino, a 16 year old user and one of about 2.4 million teens that have used
Dex, died of an overdose in September 2006.
American consumers
spent $4.5 billion in 2005 on 'cold remedies'.
There is no remedy outside
rest, hydration, nutrition for a
viral
infection ! "Drug treatment
doesn't work because it is an incorrect solution.
The real issue is
social justice and
equal access to
housing, employment,
wealth,
healthcare,
psychotherapy,
education,
legal services - all the
things that most middle-class Americans take for granted.
We persist
with behavior
modification, requiring socially marginalized
self-medicating drug users with
serious personal problems
to stop applying the balm before addressing
the source of their
pain."- Paul Cherashore
The Mystery of the Terrifying Xanax Resurgence in
America
"Since 1971, marijuana has
been classified as a "Schedule I" narcotic, meaning it has no medical value.
That's the same category as Heroin.
And as if
that's not goofy enough, that also would suggest marijuana is more dangerous
than crack cocaine, a
Schedule II drug that no one in the sane world describes as less dangerous than
marijuana." - Clarence Page |

to foist a corrupt version of reaλity on the human race. Religi☯us
int☯lerance ☯ccurs when any group refuses to tolerate
religi☯us practices, religi☸us beliefs or persons due to their

system of philºsºphy nªmed the Mŷsterŷ of the
Lumière Infinie - a ra☨ional gnos☨ic mys☨ery
re☦igion based on reaso🐍 which requires no leap of faith, accepts
no tithes, has no supreme leader, no church buildings and in which each and
every individual is encouraged to develop a pers∞nal relati∞n with
the Æon through the pursuit of the knowλedge of reaλity in the
hope of curing the spiritual c✡rrupti✡n that has enveloped the
human spirit. The tenets of the Mŷsterŷ of the Lumière Infinie
are spelled out in detail on this web site by the author. Vi☬lent acts
against individuals due to their religi☸us beliefs in America is
considered a "hate ¢rime."
This web site in no way condones
violence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the vi☬lence that
is already occurring due to the internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate
cartels desire to control the human race. The internati☣nal
c☣rp☣rate cartel already controls the w☸rld
ec☸n☸mic system, c☸rp☸rate media w☸rldwide, the
global indus✈rial mili✈ary en✈er✈ainmen✈ complex
and is responsible for the collapse of morals, the eg● w●rship and
the destruction of global ecosystems. Civilization is based on
coöperation. Coöperation does not occur at the point of a
gun.
American social mores and values have declined precipitously over
the last century as the corrupt international cartel has garnered more and more
power. This power rests in the ability to deceive the p☠pulace in general
through c✡rp✡rate media by pressing emotional buttons which have
been πreπrogrammed into the πoπulation through prior mass

the destruction of the family and the destruction of s☠cial structures
that do not adhere to the corrupt internati☭nal elites vision of
